Konrad Windszus commented on MNG-5659:
--------------------------------------
Once there is environment variable support (tracked in MNG-6303) with an
environment variable containing the path of the {{.mvn}} directory, that
approach can be used to solve this requirement as well.

> It would be useful to have a settings.xml file next to the project pom that
> could contain project specific settings. For example, when switching between
> projects it is sometimes necessary to also change the location of the local
> repository, or use a different set of repositories and/or mirror settings for
> each project.
> If a settings.xml file could be included with a project checkout, then the
> repositories needed for the build could be included (instead of putting them
> in the pom) along with any other project specific settings.
> The tricky part is intelligently handling multi-module projects. For a
> multi-module project I don't want to include a separate settings.xml file for
> each directory. So Maven could recursively check each parent directory until
> it either (1) finds a settings.xml, (2) finds a directory with no pom.xml, or
> (3) finds the root directory.
